from the man imprisoned 6 months for speaking of peace in times of war

“We are frequently told that we must sympathise with Israel because of
the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis. I see in this suggestion no reason to perpetuate any suffering.
What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors
of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy.” – Bertrand Russel, 31 ianuarie 1970.
